A Kiss On The Wind And We'll Make The Land

These photos are from a few weeks ago when we went to see my family in Skerries on a gorgeous sunny Autumn day when it was a little milder than it is now. 

Jumper- ASOS
Skirt- Dorothy Perkins
Jacket- Penneys
Faux Fur Collar- Accessorize
Necklace- H&M
Sunglasses- ASOS
Boots- Clarks
Bag- Marks and Spencer
Lipstick- MAC Ruby Woo


I stocked up on some cropped jumpers to wear with my high waisted skirts, this one from ASOS was less than €10, it's so warm and I love the tomato red shade. I've also been wearing a faux fur collar almost every day, I love how they instantly dress up an outfit.

What have been your most worn items recently?

I'll Be Two Steps On The Water

Donnacha took these photos of me on Thursday evening just before it got dark. We went for a walk down to the lake by ourselves in between filming. It was a very still, calm evening and quite mild too which is why I took my coat off for most of the photos. I also wanted to show off my mustard cardigan that I got in Penneys. I NEVER wear ths colour, but I actually love it now so I'm going to try wear more of it. The dress, coat and necklace you've seen before and the wellies were from the house we were staying in. Hope you like the photos!

and a sneaky one of the photographer himself! Thank you for your skills Lovie!x

I tried out making a gif for the first time, here's the result!

I hope you all had a great weekend! We got home safe and sound yesterday afternoon. I'll tell you all about the last few days filming in tomorrow's post. I took some photographs of pretty things when I went for a walk on Friday so I'll show those to you at some stage too.

The whole landscape of the West reminded me of Kate Bush songs so here you go;

Love,

Let Me Steal This Moment From You Now

It's an overcast Saturday evening here in Dublin and I am sitting down with a glass of Chardonnay. It's been raining on and off all day so unfortunately another Saturday goes by with no trip to the beach or picnic. Oh well! It makes me appreciate the rare occasions when the weather is consistently nice enough to do these things. My ipod is on shuffle and I have to say some great songs have played in the last few minutes including Pixies 'There Goes My Gun', Paul Simon 'The Boy in the Bubble', The Clash 'Rock the Casbah', M Ward 'Right in the Head', Air 'Surfin' On A Rock' and Patsy Cline 'Strange' to name a few!

Yesterday was payday thank goodness! Five week months are the worst! I had to buy a good few things in work for uniform because almost all of my uniform went into sale. I got a few cardigans in work for Autumn/ Winter that I know I will wear outside work too. Can't wait til it's cold enough to wear them! I also made a few online purchases including a dress from Maria of Lulu Letty's shop O Captain on Etsy. I'm going to alter the length a bit to make it a bit more wearable for Autumn (it's a maxi dress). So I'll show you that when it arrives. I ordered a necklace and some shoes on Etsy and another necklace from jewellery designer Zara Taylor. She makes the most beautiful vintage inspired jewellery. I wish I could afford to buy more! Maybe next month. I'll show you the piece I ordered once it arrives.

In the mean time I'll give you a look at some of my recent purchases

Wish Upon A Star Bangle

I thought since everyone is obsessed with the whole Alice and Wonderland inspired jewellery these days I'd go for something based on a different Disney film. I couldn't resist this when I saw it. "When you wish upon a star, makes no difference who you are..." Aw!




20s Glitzy Flower Bando

I wouldn't normally wear something like this, but it caught my eye and I said why not try something different!




Enamel Pansy Stud Earrings

I thought these were really cute!




I found these for €15 in Dunnes Stores. They're not the best quality, but I really liked the colours and they were very comfortable!

And now a few photos of what I wore today! I just wore a plain black dress so I put more accessories with it than I normally would.

I bought this necklace yesterday too




Bow Chain Ring




Trapped Peacock Ring

Who doesn't love peacock print stuff!




My Je t'aime Paris Bangle

I got this scarf in work last year. I have a slight obsession!




The studs I showed you in my last post




My clarks boots




I thought I'd show you my hair au naturel with no products or styling!
I'm letting it grow out at the moment, I want it to get really long!




This is how I did my eye make up today. I used a brown shimmery L'Oréal colour appeal eye shadow and another one in gold in the inner corner and lined my eyes with L'Oréal super liquid eye liner. I swear I don't work for them! Hehe!




Here's the look close up. I hadn't worn these colours in a while because I've been wearing a lot of strong lipstick colours lately and keeping my eye make up to a minimum.

So there you go! What do you think? I know I have a bit of a jewellery obsession! But I do get it for 75% off with my discount, so that's how I justify it. Ha! I'll let you know how my conflict resolution goes tomorrow. Hopefully it'll all work out.

How is your weekend going? Did you buy anything nice on payday? (or in general)

Here's some lovely Kate Bush;

Goodnight
